Tod Listens was created with a clear vision: to provide anyone, anywhere, with access to insightful, meaningful conversation 24/7. Tod—short for "Talk On Demand"—is more than just an AI assistant; Tod is designed as a thoughtful, expert active listener that offers the kind of conversation you’d have with a trusted friend or a supportive coach. Tod helps callers explore their own experiences, encouraging clarity and self-awareness in a way that feels personal and deeply supportive. With Tod, conversation can stay light or go deep, either way Tod listens.
We believe technology and especially AI technology should be pro-connection, not a replacement for human relationships. Tod was created to support this belief: by helping people reflect on their own experiences 24/7 like an ever-ready life coach , Tod invites callers to discover their true self. From greater self awareness we all can bring a more illuminated personal self to our families, communities, and the world at large, because, one good conversation can change everything.
We envision a future that’s increasingly UI-less, led by conversational AI interactions. Tod Listens is here to lead that future as a trailblazer, keeping human-centered design and accessibility at its core, making this technology and all future enhancements easily available to everyone—not just the tech-savvy few. Apps are so 2020s... let's enter the future together, boldly.
We’re a small but passionate team based in Dallas and Toronto, united by a shared vision to make meaningful, insightful conversation accessible to all. Each of us brings unique expertise—from product design to AI development—all with a commitment to crafting Tod as a thoughtful, engaging listener that acts as an intelligent sounding-board. We’re driven by the belief that everyone deserves a space for reflection, clarity, and connection, no matter where they are.
